Guess whose football BEST BETS led the weekly newspaper nation in 2007? That's right. Right here. Publishing them for all online readers to see six and seven days before the games were played, too! Sports Reporter's staff and readers have lots to live up to in 2008 and have the confidence to do it again!
All NFL teams play four exhibition games, with the exception of the poor Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins, who were forced to perform early on national TV in the annual Hall of Fame Game in Canton, OH. That's 65 games, and all of them are potential money-makers! and start getting in the mood for football in 2008.
Sports Reporter begins its 2008 football coverage online with selected NFL pre-season action during all four weeks of play. This is when you need to know who's trying, who's auditioning (more than the other guy), whose offensive line is injured or being re-tooled, whose quarterback depth is better, and whose offensive and defensive systems are more established. We make it our business to explore it and be as informed as we can possibly be before passing on the knowledge to our growing universe of readers on the Web. MORE |

Stakes Racing is for Squares
JULY, 2008 -- Anyone who considers Grade 1 Thoroughbred stakes racing to be a relative joke as far as its importance to the game of gambling is concerned (Hello, there!) had to be chuckling over “stories” that called for, wished for, hoped for and reported on a possible meeting between the best older horse – Curlin – and the best 3-year-old – Big Brown. As if, right? Yawn. We bettors won’t hold our breaths for such a non-opportunity. But if they do meet, maybe they should meet in a match race with syringes hanging from their hind-quarters, and run for only a quarter-mile as their jockeys engage in a battle to see which one of them can pull out of it sooner to help protect the multi-million dollar breeding investment. As Desormeaux and Albarado ease their mounts towards the finish line, Cecil Turtle from the Bugs Bunny cartoon would plod past them for the upset. MORE
